New: The NRCC has posted a new video focusing on the migrant situation playing out in New York City. Republicans are defending a number of vulnerable incumbents in New York State and are bashing Democrats for the huge influx of tens of thousands of asylum seekers in the city. Mayor Eric Adams has warned that the migrant flow, if unchecked, “will destroy New York City.”
“Ignoring the border crisis won’t solve New York’s migrant crisis, despite Hakeem Jeffries’ desperate wishes,” NRCC National Press Secretary Will Reinert said in a statement.
This is a similar playbook to 2022, when Republicans blasted New York Democrats on the issues of crime and public safety, which helped made big gains in the state’s suburbs.
